I suppose dumbell bench presses might be one by some here but for the greater part Dumbells of that size would be relegated to shrugs or maybe deadlifts.  Who here can do a standing clean and press wotj something like these weights?

Even hard core druggies would have trouble doing so.

Good luck with them. Just to be able to lift them off the rack is impressive!

I can unrack those one at a time no problem.

A 200kg dumbell? As in 440lb?  :o

I can't begin to think what a thing like that would look like.

Namat, if you can't push 170lb db's with your T-Rex length arms then there's no hope for you, you little "drug-free" pipsqueak ;)

Most of the guys can't use heavy dumbbells because they are lazy...

I mean...they are struggling with 90s, 100s...flat/incline press...fuck that...I'm not a big boy, I'm not a powerlifter, I'm not using tons of drugs...still I can do 160s, 170s. 120s all day...

So I convinced the gym owner to order in some heavier dumbells
175 , 180 and 190's 
he has placed to order, cannot wait for them to arrive so I can challenge myself

No 200s or 210s?  Sad.

All one arm at a time:  Bent over rows, Hi-pulls, cleans, side presses and shoulder presses/jerks. All power & mass builders. Usually the free arm is bracing it's self onto a near by support, some times not. Surprising  news, for some, that the bench or inclines are not the only exercises one can do with heavy DB's.

One legged step-up's, Romanian squats or regular squats and SLDL's (both hands or one hand at a time...suggest trying the one hands version, for a little variety in the workout). One arm at a time can give some insurance of equal strength, muscle development and balance with each side of the body to the other. that goes for any upper body movement also.
